Informal relations have been one of the major research topics of
the social sciences since the 1990s. In order to allow for
meaningful comparisons between different combinations of the
positive and negative effects of informal relations on democratic
representation, this book focuses on post-socialist Central and
Eastern Europe as a particular region where formal democratic rules
have been established, but competing informal rules are still
strong. A broad spectrum of related analytical concepts is
discussed from different perspectives and from different academic
disciplines, then empirical cases of the relationship between
informal relations and democratic representation are analyzed. The
contributions span the whole continuum, as we perceive it, from
civil society networks seen as supporting democratic representation
to the perversion of democratic representation through political
corruption. The final part of the book takes a closer look at
corruption through four case studies from Russia.
